Quiz No. 3 - IPP

1. Discuss the operation of a multi stages centrifugal pump inside its system. Why is it
necessary to use
This type of pump to handle the water requirement of the steam generator?
Answer: multistage centrifugal pump is intended with one to two or more impellers. Centrifugal pumps
work by creating a centrifugal force this force moves the liquid through the pump and increase the
liquid pressure, the impellers might be mounted on the same or different shafts. If high pressures at
the outlet are required, impellers can also be connected in series whereas for high flow output, they
are typically connected parallel.

In application of this pumps where large increase in pressure are need that is why it is used in
steam generator.
2. Identify the multi stages pumps parts responsible for the efficient flow of feed water towards
the steam drum.
Answers: each stage of pump has its own impeller and volute in the volute the liquid pressure
increases and each of the first two volutes discharge into the suction eye of the stage that
follows it the last stage volute discharge into the steam drum.
3. How do steam condensers creates Vacuum? How it impacts or affects other equipment.
Answer: vacuum is form when steam exhausting from the turbine is cold and condense back
into water, the impact of this on the equipment is it can shrink its containment if it does not
design well that able to handle the amount of vacuum.
4. What is the product of condensation and its uses?
Answer: the product of condensation is water and its used to condense the gas came from the
turbine , allowing to become water which will be goes to pump and increase its pressure and to
be feed to boiler back again.
